The Rotary Club of Ponderay provides scholarships to assist promising and deserving community citizens in realizing their post-secondary education and training goals. We strive to maximize impact in the community by recognizing through our scholarship program those citizens who practice Rotary values of service as a basis of worthy enterprise, high ethical standards, community involvement, and the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace.
Thanks to Sandra Jameson's dedication to the education and success of our local youth, we are honored to be the recipient of an annual grant that will come to our club in perpetuity designated by Sandra Jameson. We can't thank and appreciate the Jameson family enough for their support of Ponderay Rotary's scholarship program. Learn more about Sandra Jameson HERE.
